About OPTIMA
OPTIMA® batteries are Johnson Controls’ premium brand of auto, marine and commercial batteries in North America with worldwide distribution and significant presence in the Americas, Europe and Asia. OPTIMA batteries deliver ultimate power for high-demand applications, standing apart from any other battery in the world with a unique six-pack design and Spiralcell® AGM Technology.
Spiralcell Technology
The unique Spiralcell design makes OPTIMA batteries a strong, clean power source that far surpasses any of today’s lead acid battery technologies. Manufactured with a patented automated assembly process, cells featuring Spiralcell Technology use high-compression absorptive glass mat (AGM) material, supporting superior vibration resistance and extended battery life. High-purity materials, including 99.99% pure lead, help increase battery life up to twice that of traditional flooded batteries. And the low-sulfate chemistry and low-acid reaction provide extended higher cycling capacity.
OPTIMA Solutions
OPTIMA offers three battery types for automotive, marine, commercial vehicle and recreational vehicle (RV) power needs. The different batteries are easily identified by their colored tops:
OPTIMA YellowTop® is ideal for any application that demands heavy cycling and cranking power, including trucks with winches, cars with high-demand audio systems, commercial trucks and heavy duty construction and agricultural equipment.
OPTIMA BlueTop® is ideal for marine and RV applications, including boats with electric trolling motors, onboard electronics or stereo systems and RVs with appliances that tend to drain batteries quickly.
OPTIMA RedTop® offers optimum automotive starting power and is commonly used in trucks, SUVs, luxury cars, hot rods and off-road vehicles.
- Longer life – OPTIMA batteries last up to two times longer than traditional flat-plate batteries.
- Repetitive reserve capacity – OPTIMA batteries can withstand significantly more discharge/recharge cycles and still deliver a high percentage of the original full capacity.
- Optimal starting power – OPTIMA batteries provide more power in the initial one, three, five and 10 seconds of the starting process than comparably rated conventional leadacid batteries.
- Long shelf-life – Fully charged OPTIMA batteries can sit unused for up to 12 months at room temperature (or below) and start a vehicle.
- Vibration resistance – OPTIMA batteries are at least 15 times more resistant to vibration than traditional leadacid batteries.
- Spill-proof – OPTIMA batteries can be mounted sideways with no acid spill. That’s because they’re sealed and maintenance-free.
